The day before December 30th

It's the day before December 30th and snowing outside.

The sun sets early because our love is early, yet there are no seconds to waste like Summerset Maugham reminds me,
for this life I would make it as long as I hope our love last, if I could make the adventures of our love last longer I would.

Soon we will be on the beach discussing art with sunburns and late night swims, lotion-covered and happy, while sand sneaks into our bathing suits.

I wish to teach you how to salsa. You said you always wanted to learn.

but you never hold my hands

and I never let go

and a refill of coffee is 70 cents

and your favorite book I do not know

and you like to be read to

and your toes are covered in the sand

and all is so dreamy.

I wish this day would last forever.
